Gemma Services Planned Giving Societies

An Invitation to Join Gemma Services' Planned Giving Societies: The Society of 1859 and The Charles Terry Society

Both of Gemma's legacy organizations – theVillage and Silver Springs – Martin Luther School – brought with them to the merged organization a planned giving society comprised of dedicated supporters. Members of The Society of 1859, from the legacy Silver Springs, and members of The Charles Terry Society, from the legacy theVillage, have expressed their commitment to our legacy organizations through a very special and important form of financial support.

Members of our Planned Giving Societies have named either Silver Springs - Martin Luther School or theVillage as the beneficiary of a planned gift. Such gifts might include a bequest, appreciated securities, gifts of retirement accounts, gifts of life insurance and/or charitable income gifts, such as charitable gift annuities, charitable remainder unitrusts, charitable remainder annuity trusts.

Once you complete your estate plans, please fill out our member profile form to let us know. We would like to thank you for your generosity by welcoming you into both of these Societies simultaneously.
